Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 17 ,Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Manuka Oval, Griffith, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2024 Adelaide Strikers have outplayed Sydney Thunder consistently in recent seasons, securing five straight victories against them. Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SYT vs ADS Match Prediction & Analysis Adelaide Strikers are set to face Sydney Thunder in the third game of the 2024-25 Big Bash League at Canberra. While both teams will be looking to kick things off with a win, the Strikers will feel confident of their chances as they have dominated Thunder comprehensively over the past few seasons, having beaten them in five straight games. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Last season, the Thunder endured a dismal campaign, scraping together just a single victory from their eight complete games, propelling them to the bottom of the league. However, this season, they have the unique advantage of a stable squad, as none of their players are part of the Australian Test team. David Warner, with his leadership ban lifted, will captain the side in his first uninterrupted BBL season. Despite coming into the tournament out of form, Warner has plenty to prove after being overlooked in the IPL auction. Expect him to make a statement on the excellent batting pitches at home. Adelaide Strikers Preview Adelaide Strikers may have struggled with consistency last season, but their upset win over the Perth Scorchers in the knockout final at Optus Stadium has shown they are not far off the mark. Matthew Short will remain a fixture at the top of the order for the Strikers. The leading run-scorer in BBL 13, Short piled up 541 runs last season and can deliver big performances throughout the league stage. However, this season the spotlight might shift to Chris Lynn when it comes to their batting. Known for his six-hitting ability, Lynn has rediscovered form with Adelaide after a stellar career with Brisbane Heat and can be counted on to clear the ropes in multiple innings. With Travis Head and Alex Carey unavailable until the new year, Lynn and D’Arcy Short will hold greater responsibility in carrying the batting lineup. Weather Conditions Known for its flat and slow pitch, the Manuka Oval typically favors batting, with scores often exceeding 160. The short boundaries allow for ample opportunities of boundaries, especially on the leg-side. The ground’s dry nature can assist spin bowlers as the game progresses, with the odd ball gripping and catching the batters off guard. The weather in Canberra will be breezy and warm. There is no forecast of rain so we should get a full game. SYT vs ADS Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Manuka Oval is 164. The highest total posted at the venue is Sydney Thunder’s 219/7 versus Melbourne Stars in 2020. They won that game by 75 runs. The team batting first in this match will look to set a score of around 170-180 runs. Toss: To Bowl 15 of the 23 T20s played at the Manuka Oval have been won by the team chasing. This suggests that batting second is the better option at the venue.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso2 months ago2 months ago06 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 16 ,Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd T20 2024 The seemingly annual challengers for the BBL title, Sydney Sixers, get their campaign underway against serial losers Melbourne Renegades! Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SYS vs MLR Match Prediction & Analysis Will this be the year when Melbourne Renegades finally start producing the goods in the Big Bash League and get involved at the top of the division instead of playing out their usual fun at the bottom of the pile? If it is to be a season when things are turned on their head, then that may mean Sydney Sixers will have to get used to a few more defeats than usualk after they have been well in the mix at the ‘business end’ of the BBL more often than not of late. The BBL gets underway in Perth as the Scorchers take on Melbourne Stars on Sunday but this match between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades will be an excellent marker of what both sides are capable of and what we can expect at the SCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers’ success over recent seasons has been built on the strength of their top order batting and with a top three of James Vince, Daniel Hughes and Josh Philippe, that could well be an area where they are too hot to handle once again this season. That’s not to say that they don’t have additional batting depth with Moises Henriques, Kurtis Patterson, Jordan Silk and Hayden Kerr all capable of making match-winning innings. Melbourne Renegades Preview If Jake Fraser-McGurk finds the middle of the bat early in this tournament then Melbourne Renegades could be in for a treat of a season but if he doesn’t then there are serious questions about their batting ability for this year’s competition. With the exception of the Australian international, and with Jacob Bethell on international duty with England, Melbourne Renegades will be looking to the likes of Laurie Evans to turn up and make a match winning innings in this game. Bowling wise, Melbourne Renegades look a lot stronger. Adam Zampa remains one of the best T20 spin bowlers in the world and Tom Rogers has bowled plenty of special spells across his BBL career! Weather Conditions Humidity levels will be high before this game begins but they are forecast to climb across the match as well. No rain is forecast with clear skies expected throughout. SYS vs MLR Pitch Report The SCG remains a true batting surface with plenty of pace and bounce in the pitch at this stage of the tournament. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 170+. Toss: To Bowl The SCG often offers something for the pace bowlers early on before flattening out and allowing the stroke makers to show off their skills. We predict the captains will want to bowl first.

West Indies vs Bangladesh, WI vs BAN 2024, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso2 months ago2 months ago06 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs Bangladesh 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 16 ,Monday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 05:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Arnos Vale Stadium, Arnos Vale, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2024 Over the past five T20Is, Bangladesh have been unable to secure a single win against the West Indies. West Indies vs Bangladesh TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Having just swept Bangladesh 3-0 in the ODI series, the West Indies now set their sights on repeating that performance in the T20 format. The action starts with the first match this Sunday at the Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent. The Windies have consistently outplayed Bangladesh in T20s recently, making them the clear favorite to maintain their winning streak. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies are heading into this T20 series against Bangladesh with a lot of momentum after their strong ODI performance. T20 is their go-to format, making them even tougher opponents. The return of Johnson Charles is a big boost. He’s a seasoned T20 batsman with over 7,000 runs and a blistering strike rate of 133. Captain Rovman Powell will be key in the middle order, and Evin Lewis, Brandon King, and Nicholas Pooran are expected to anchor the innings and take it deep. Bangladesh Preview After a disappointing 0-3 sweep in the ODI series, Bangladesh will be eager to turn things around. However, reversing their fortunes won’t be easy, given their ongoing six-match losing streak in the format. Much depends on Litton Das, whose leadership and recent tally of 199 runs at an average of 22.11 from the last 10 games will be key. The batting unit, aside from Litton, lacks experience. Tanzid Hasan and Jaker Ali are names to watch, as both have the potential to step up. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has performed well in Tests and ODIs this year, could also make a difference. While his T20I contributions with the bat haven’t stood out, he has the ability to deliver quick runs down the order. His spin bowling could be decisive on a pitch that favors turn. Weather Conditions The Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent typically offers a good batting surface for T20 cricket. The pitch is generally flat and true, allowing batsmen to score freely. There’s usually some pace and bounce on offer for the bowlers, but it’s not overly challenging. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down slightly, allowing spinners to come into play. Some showers are forecast in the afternoon, which might delay the game or lead to a shortened fixture. WI vs BAN Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Arnos Vale Ground is just 133. The highest total posted at the venue is Bangladesh’s 159-5 versus the Netherlands in this year’s T20 World Cup. If Bangladesh bat first in this match, they will target a score of around 160-170. The West Indies, however, with their battery of power hitters, will look for a score of around 180-200 if they get to bat first. Toss: To Bat Six of the seven T20Is played at the Arnos Vale Ground have been won by the team batting first. So it goes without saying that both teams will look to bat first here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs West Indies Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 15 ,Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dr. D.Y. Patil Sports Academy, Thane, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2024 Can West Indies break the jinx against India in the series opener? India Women vs West Indies Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND-W vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis India team is making a huge stride in the limited over formats recently with their impressive success against many teams recently. They will look to dominate the Caribbean team and win this series too. West Indies lost their recent series 2-0 and will look to win the series against a strong Indian side in their soil. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Indian team has made a few changes in their squad and will look to win the upcoming matches. Openers Smriti Mandana will have a new batting partner at the top. Experienced players Harmanpret Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma are expected to slot in the middle order. Their bowlers will be led by pacers Renuka Singh Thakur and Titas Sadhu. Saima Thakur might play as the third seamer in the playing XI. Deepthi Sharma, Radha Yadav and Priya Mishra might form the spin trio in the bowling department. West Indies Preview West Indies experienced order batters Hayley Mathews, S Campbelle and Deandra Dottin are expected to make big scores and lead their batting unit against a strong Indian team. Qiana Joseph, Chinelle Henry and Aaliyah Alleyne will provide the batting depth with their all round skills. Their bowlers Aaliyah Alleyne, Shamilia Connell, Deandra Dottin and Shabika Gajnabi will be their key pacers in the squad. They have plethora of spinners with the likes of Hayley Mathews, Afy Fletcher, Zaida James and K Ramharack in their playing XI. Weather Conditions Galle is expected to have slightly overcast conditions on the match day with some rain possibility. But we expect only small intermittent delays in the match. IND-W vs WIW Pitch Report Navi mumbai has been a good sporting wicket off late and teams posted big runs in the last few matches played here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 15 ,Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Perth Stadium, Burswood, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2024 Perth Scorchers to begin BBL campaign at home Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PRS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis The Perth Scorchers were knocked out of the playoffs last season. They will be looking to put that behind them and get off to a winning start at the home venue. Melbourne Stars had a poor season last year and they have struggled against the Scorchers quite often in recent years. It will be a tough outing for the visitors who are without some of their star players in the batting lineup. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview First things first, a few players are missing from this squad for the opening game. Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis are part of the Australia squad for the Test series against India. We expect Matthew Hurst to come in for Inglis as the wicket-keeper batsman in the middle order whereas batting all-rounder Aaron Hardie can replace Mitchell Marsh. However, if Inglis isn’t part of the Gabba Test, he can be available for the BBL opener. Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis has been named the permanent captain of the Melbourne Stars. It needs to be seen what impact the change in leadership will have on the Stars. They will be missing their former skipper Glenn Maxwell in this game along with the English batter Ben Duckett. They also have Scott Boland in the squad who’s currently part of the Australia squad for the BGT series. In the opener, it will be up to the likes of Mark Steketee, Joel Paris, and Tom Curran to lead with the ball. Usama Mir is another big miss since the leg-spinner is on national duty. There are many all-rounders in the squad and that should play in their favor. However, the unavailability of most of the key players will likely hurt Melbourne Stars in this game. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Perth with a high of 20 degrees Celsius. There is no rain prediction for the match day and we can expect an uninterrupted and exciting BBL opener at the Perth Stadium. PRS vs MLS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has something for everyone. It is known for its pace and bounce and the bowlers will have a great time with the new ball. However, the pace and carry also allow the batters to time the ball well and score plenty of runs on this pitch. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s is 181 runs on this ground. We reckon something around 190-200 should be a highly competitive score in this match. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first and second have won 5 games each in the last 10 outings here in T20s. There is plenty of help on offer for the pacers on this ground and we reckon defending a total will be a good strategy in this match.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa Women vs England Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 15 ,Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 South Africa Women to fight against England Women in one off Test at home South Africa Women vs England Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSAW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa Women will take on England Women in the Only Test of England Women’s tour of South Africa at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, on 15 December. The last time these two teams faced each other was back in 2022. That Test resulted in a draw. South Africa and England Women’s team are set for a rare encounter in Test Cricket. While South African Women are playing at home, England Women are yet to lose to South African Women home or away. Can England Women continue the unbeaten record against South African Women away from home? TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview When it comes to Women’s cricket, Test cricket is a very rare occurrence. Rarer so for South Africa Women as they have played just 5 Tests since 2007 when they defeated Netherlands Women. In the four Tests after that win, South Africa Women have lost three and drew one Test, that too against England Women. South Africa Women’s previous match against England Women ended in a draw. It was played back in 2022 when South of England Women won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first. Marizanne Kapp scored a memorable 150-run innings, helping South Africa Women reach 284 in the first innings. The rest of the batters could not score much. As many as five South African batters were dismissed on single digit. After England Women amassed 417 for 8 declared in 120 overs, South Africa Women managed 181 for 5 in their second innings, thus drawing the Test. England Preview England Women are a tough team to beat. They have drawn 5 and won 1 game in their last 10 matches. However, their last win came more than 10 years ago against Australia at Wackau. They defeated the Australian Women team by 61 runs. Having said that, they have a dominating record against South Africa winning 1 of the 3 Tests in 21st century while drawing the other two. Although the previous Test against South Africa Women ended in a draw, England Women were always in the dominating position. Responding to 284 made by South Africa Women in the first innings, England Women scored 417 for 8 declared. They had about 70 hours to get South Africa all out and win the game by an innings but they could not do that. Kate Cross took four wickets for them in the first innings while in the second innings Anneke Bosch took 3 wickets. Weather Conditions It is expected to be very hot. The temperature would range between 34°C to 17°C. While the day will start as sunny, there is some chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. We might lose some game time to thunderstorms, but it should not be a washout. RSAW vs ENGW Pitch Report The venue of the match is Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. It is one of the prominent venues in South Africa. It was established in 1989 and has been home to many Test matches, ODI, and T20 matches. It was also one of the venues for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The venue has a seating capacity of around 20,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat A total of 5 Tests have happened at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein and all ended in outright result. The teams batting first won 3 matches whereas the teams batting second have won 2. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 21:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20I 2024 South Africa eye a clean sweep South Africa vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa have sealed the 3-match T20I series with a win in the second outing at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Both games have been high-scoring and the hosts had the upper hand on both occasions. Pakistan looked good with the bat but looked dependent on a couple of players. Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are the only promising batters in this squad. The rest of the lineup including Babar Azam failed to get going. The Proteas will be confident of finishing the series on a winning note. While Reeza Hendricks has found his rhythm at the top with a hundred in the last outing, they have got the reliable Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are leading 2-0 and will be out to finish a clean sweep in Johannesburg. Though it looks like a solid batting lineup overall with key players in great touch, there is one player whose form will be a concern. Matthew Breetzke was out cheaply in both outings at number 3. All eyes will be on him to come good in the 3rd T20I and make a mark for himself. He averages just over 16 and has a strike rate of 122 from 10 T20Is. Rassie van der Dussen was sent down to number 4 after he was out for a duck in the opening game. He found his rhythm in the second match scoring an unbeaten 66 off 38 balls to help South Africa win by 7 wickets while chasing a 207-run target. Pakistan Preview Pakistan need to find other match-winners apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub. Babar Azam was off to a steady start in the second match but failed to convert it into something more significant. Azam isn’t the typical T20 player who can score quick runs and accelerate the pace of the innings. He is expected to anchor the innings from one end and build partnerships with others who come in to bat alongside him. Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are in fine touch and will have their job cut out for them. They need to score big and haven’t got anyone else to rely on at the moment. Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir haven’t looked promising in the middle order though Irfan Khan’s 30 off 16 balls at number 6 will raise hopes for the visitors. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius around the game in Johannesburg. Though there is a rain prediction for the next day, we don’t expect any interruptions during the 3rd T20I between the two sides. RSA vs PAK Pitch Report There is enough help for the batters on this wicket though its dryness might create some inconsistence bounce from a length. There will be pace on offer and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The average 1st innings score in T20Is here is 176 runs. We reckon anything above 185-190 will be a highly competitive total on this pitch. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 14 of the 27 T20Is played at this venue. Though there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first here, we reckon having runs on the board can put the team ahead in the contest. There is plenty of help for the batters and if the team batting first gets to a competitive score, they should have the upper hand in the second innings.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20I 2024 Zimbabwe’s quest for a win and berth in the finals Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis We have seen good competition in this series so far. Zimbabwe surprised everyone by winning the first game of the three-match series against Afghanistan by 4 wickets. However, the Afghans bounced back in the last game with a convincing 50-run win. As the battle moves to the series decider, we expect a close contest between the two teams as the hosts would look for a rare series win. Afghanistan has dominated Zimbabwe in this format. They have lost only twice against them in 17 matches between the two teams. The Afghans have an experienced bowling attack that will enjoy bowling in these conditions. It will be a tall ask for the Zimbabweans, and we expect them to show a positive attitude and fight hard in the middle. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza will be upset with his team’s batting performance in the last game. They succumbed under pressure and wasted an opportunity to win the series. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their win in the first game. They must play to their strengths to trouble the Afghans. Brian Bennett must deliver a good start at the top with Tadiwanashe Marumani. The Afghans have a strong bowling attack and shall test them. Dion Myers must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza. Ryan Burl and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role. Afghanistan Preview Rashid Khan’s team will be relieved after their win in the last game. The team was under pressure after losing the first game. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game and delivered blows to the Zimbabwean batting. With the series leveled, Rashid and his men would go for the kill and look to grab the series. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal failed to convert their start in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Darwish Rasooli played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Zubaid Akbari and Azmatullah Omarzai. Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib strengthen the lower middle order. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game. The team expects early wickets from Naveen-ul-Haq and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to put the hosts under pressure. Rashid Khan is the best bowler in the team and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Omarzai and Fareed Ahmad Malik. Mohammad Nabi and Naib add depth to the bowling. Weather Conditions There would be some cloud over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds. Toss: To Bowl The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won’t be easy here at the start, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.
